Diesel is cool, even though it knocks and emits more harmful fumes out of its exhaust. I am not that big of a fan of diesel fuel, but sometimes they are kinda funky and cool as I said above. I cannot stand it, though, as it sticks ridiculously and smelling gasoline is like smelling roses. I personally would not buy a bike with such an engine, but people are different with different tastes. Thumbs up if you liked this one :) Thanks
Diesel bike = Shit, Diesel car+tuning = awesome
ever ridden a torque-sport?
Like a superduke, yamaha mt-01 or similar?
Torquey bikes are awesome and e.g. the track 800 pulls like crazy until 100kph
Torquey bikes are cool, but I don't like them knocking 😂
VisioRacer Well if you think about the fuel consumption of a petrol bike versus a diesel bike I would say diesel bikes are a hundred times more environmental friendly so there goes your harmful fumes.
i have no egr or cat on my truck and it does not smell at all, ( btw that trademark scent is from a rich mixture being forced through a catalyst) and only gets sooty above 12K feet of elevation, its a great tried and true cheap and long living power source (as internal combustion goes).
But as with everything, you have to take off-the-shelf anything the rest of the distance because OEMs will only spend so much mass producing any product to meet a minimum basic requirement of operation as well as guranteed/engineered points of failure (service intervals, so the service department can get revenue).
I think at this point in my life, I'd love to have that military bike. What a machine, nice research Visio!
first thing i did WHILE watching this video was to go look if there is any of these for sale in my country....sadly,i only found some RE bullet 350mbut gasoline engines :(
They were made for the U.S.M.C...
not army ..
I worked with a guy whos brother built those in Carson City NV. They are a converted KLRs if i remember correctly ,somewhere i have a promotional DVD from them,from what i remember he had to beef up head and crankshaft for the higher compression but other than that it was fairly stock
It’s gorgeous
They are actually klr 650's converted to diesel i have a klr petrol but would love the army version as well
I’ve been onto bike for 45 years, and yet I learned new stuff today.
Thanks for sharing.
Diesel bukes can be realy useful in war zones because if its no fuel around you can use even cooking oil to escape the place
Like you're gonna have time to filter the oil
The places where we go fight are loaded with fuel
Military troops are probably supposed to push forward, not escape.
try it on common rail :D
@@SheepFromDaHell The renault 1.5 dci is common rail and electronic Delphi injection and i can guarantee you it can run on cooking oil...because i have tested it on my old Kangoo
I once had a moped on which I put a 70cc. But since the thing had so much compression I started to increase the compression even further and try to see if it could run on diesel. I found that an 80% diesel 20% gasoline mixture worked quite well. The theory being that the gasoline would explode causing the diesel to ignite along with it due to the pressure.
That's called propagated ignition... and it does work really well. As a matter of fact, a company set a new power density record a few years back with a gas/diesel blended engine... though their blend was a little closer to 10/90 respectively. Diesel has roughly 25% more potential power per gallon, depending on the formulation.
There have also been 50cc HCCI diesels which have shown outstanding performance, using a combination of hydrogenated diesel and ethanol.
2:40
No electronics whatsoever? damn. imagine kicking that sucker at -10c in winter.
+Nazimelonhamster
You're confusing "electrics" and "electronics." Obv the bike has electric; it has a headlight. "Electronic" implies microprocessor, or at least a transistor or two.
Well i thought he was talking about plugs and e-starter.
basically self-ignition only.
Nazimelonhamster The Enfield bikes didn't have starters until 2010, even now they're an optional extra.
Does it have a glow plug?
@@nazimelon6653 its a diesel so no plugs
@3:04 sound of the bike reminds
of my childhood when I used to sit in the front near the fuel tank of my father’s Royal Enfield bullet and he used to take us along with my mom from our city to our native village
CORRECTION. The Bullet is literally the oldest production motorcycle in the world made by Royal Enfield. The diesel engine varient was introduce to India by the name of "Taurus". Back in the days people took it upon themselves and started converting old petrol engine Bullets to diesel engine ones as the Clutch, Gearbox and Crank case all had separate sealed housing. People would retrofit used cheap water pump diesel engine that was around 425cc. It usually returned a fuel efficiency of around 80-90Km/L or around 210MPG. Though they gave ridiculously good fuel efficiency compared to petrol they were very unreliable as the engine fitted were often 5-8 years old and very underpowered as it was originally designed to sit in one place and run a water-pump. Later Enfield designed their own Diesel engine which was a lot lighter and smaller compared to the retrofitted ones at 325cc and made about the same power and torque with a close fuel efficiency of around 75Km/L or 176MPG. It was relatively a lot more refined too. The new diesel engine was directly fitted on to the existing petrol Bullet 350's chassis and named Taurus. The MPG figures might seem a bit too good to be true but it truly is as I have used and worked on them myself. Some day I hope to get one and turbocharge it... Someday... 😅
I'll be honest man when you first started adding voice I didn't care for it much but you've improved a lot with your delivery on information. Keep up the awesome videos! Yours have always had that extra bit of quality over all the rest!
i want that hdt... with that, i only need to refuel once every month
These all sound like old tractors xD
Sound great to me.
TheDennys21 true af
because most of old tractors have 1-3 cylinders and are diesel powered.. just like these bikes :D
Kristián Vargovcik yeah
• All kindz of sounds, all kindz.
Visio, one of your best ever motorcycle UA-cams. It is sad to see the bickering in the comments rather than a real discussion. I guess most folks know little of Rudolf Diesel and his new compression ignition engine. Do these commenters even know that when this engine was invented, there was NO SUCH THING AS DIESEL FUEL? The first engines ran on many different fuels including coal dust, kerosene, and even vegetable oil. Truly, there is nothing new under the sun. For me, I would be happy to find two diesel powered bikes. A small single for putting around town and one of those rip-roaring multi cylinder bikes over 400cc to be legal on the NLEX national highway here in the Philippines. All I can say is what a blast climbing the mountains of Baguio riding two up with lots of power in reserve.
that torque tho
I would love to swap a 250 cc diesel into my dual sport. Preferably turbo charged and liquid cooled.
I deeply enjoy your videos, I always love to learn new things. Especially about vehicles. Keep up the great work!
Love diesel. Got to get me one.
Yeah diesel is love 🖤
plz u need to do one on diesel supercars
Adolfharambe's strongbleach a.k.a generic blue guy YES
Adolfharambe's strongbleach a.k.a generic blue guy if there's one (except concepts), maybe he can do it
Can Elmen look up Peugeot HDI FAP 908 and Audi R10 TDI thats just two examples i can think of right now and I bet there are more diesel race cars :)
A LeMans winning diesel powered car, Definitely Super
bentley bentayga
Thats pretty cool! 160-140 mpg!
Well it does only have 11hp
Zach Reynolds diesels are heavy 11hp is not good!
@@vladimirvladimirovichputin1352 they are heavy but not too much to affect the performance that much. Also the bike that got 140 MPG did NOT make 11 HP. It made 45hp. Also these bikes are very old. Modern diesel bikes could get enormous MPG with very good performance
Aahhhh. That hart tuching Bullet sound...🥰🥰🥰
60+ MPG and great torque, this is amazing... Why am I not rolling coal on 2 wheels!?. Lol 😃👍
Most of these older bikes even though extremely economical have vibrations that are beyond bearable and probably unsafe at half decent speeds.
I had chance to ride the Enfield diesel a few times... While its eye candy i felt its useless for anything else. That lombardini engine is actually a diesel pump strapped to a gearbox 😅
But looking at recent advances like counter balancers and stuff, We might see a usable diesel two wheeler
How is diesel bad if it gets enormous MPG's?
CDA441 it puts out a lot more harmful emissions than petrol
But diesel has a higher potential energy than petrol
CDA441. It doesn't get enormous MPG lol. New Petrol turbo engines are just as efficient as diesel, have way more power, respond better. And don't have huge clouds of disgusting smog coming out of them lol
Jamie Reid put that same turbo on a diesel engine and it will be more efficient because not only will it get better mpg because its diesel it will run more boost so it wont have to work as hard.

There was another; one that nearly no one knows about. In early August, 1982, I was in Quito, Ecuador, and I met a young businessman who had just returned from a trip to Japan. He spent over $32,000 to go there and return with a Honda CB900TD ! A turbo diesel 900! I saw the the bike in person!
A friend of mine had the royal enfield diesel which sounded and moved like a tractor but it gave an awesome fuel efficiency of 90kmpl or 1.11L/100kms @ 40kmph.
refreshing to see diesel motorcycles living in America where our main impression of non industrial domestic diesels are oversized overpriced diesel pickups. Wish we had more cars and motorcycles and small pickups with diesels like europe.
Sorry bud, north America diesel emissions standards are way too high compared to gas/petrol variant. The amount of people that forget gasoline direct injection also blasts particulate matter out exhaust just shows how ill-informed America actually is on emissions. It's all about money
I own a enfield 350 bullet and its awesome...... just serviced it today after 8000 km😅
The Ducati Monster Diesel is a great collectors item, sounds good too !
That military bike that you can put different kinds of fuel. I like it much!
I have driven and worked on those 7 bhp diesel Royal Enfields. It vibrates like hell. 0 to 60 like 30 seconds.. I accelerate faster than that walking.. However, it can easily do 1000 kms on a full tank. The engine is solid. The rest of the bike falls apart..
Some Norwegian guy build a steampunk bike with a Lister model D engine in it. Sounds fab. He has some vids here on UA-cam. Well worth a look. Search for Lister powered motorcycle.
The Neandar has got to be a blast to ride with all that torque. Torque is what snaps you head back when you stomp the skinny pedal. Had a 2005 Mercedes E320 CDI and that car was an absolute blast. Only had 210 or 220 hp but had right around 400 lb*ft of torque it was an absolute joy to drive. I could be doing 65mph behind a semi move into the fast lane and floor it and be doing damn near 100 by the time I passed the driver and on top of that it would cruise at 80mph and get 35-40mpg. The engine and handling of the car was awesome. The wiring and other stuff not so much. Definitely check the wiring under the hood before you buy one as the insulator started crumbling on ours and then right after I fixed all six injectors from the black death crap, thankfully only had to buy one, the damn key sensor crapped out and since that is a Mercedes only fix we sold it. One hell of an engine though. Piss poor design on holding down the injectors hence the black death BS but all that torque is a freaking blast.
I always learn new thing with you. Nice video as always!
I never get bored watching your channel.
They should make a 125cc turbo diesel
Supercharged 50cc as well so that there is no so-called "license" required. xD In France the minimum age for 14 years old for 50cc and the exam is just a few hours long. For 125cc it's 16 years old + a real license.
Mohamed RACHID same in GER.
i think those numbers refer to petrol engines
i think diesels of the same class are allowed alot more ccs to get the compression right
I've always wanted a diesel bike. I never really cared about going fast... but I'm absolutely enamored with the potential to 7 or 800 miles from a tank of fuel... not to mention, the reliability.
@VisioRacer Umm..both the royal Enfield 350 and 500 been sold only in petrol versions as far as I remember..what you're referring to in the video is actually a model called the Taurus. I do not know whether that was it's official name. It was as you rightly said a Lombardini engine in a bullet frame though. So hats off to you for that. I really like your videos as well. They are quite informative.
SuperRazor47 Its idle is music to my ears, thanks for additional information
Blatt Ferenc anytime pal..
And, AFAIK, they never made a 500 cc Taurus, only 325 cc.
Eric Rucker yes ..I believe the same as well
Royal Enfield had made a 610cc Diesel engine for the bullet not a 500 :)
4:37 Michael j fox would love this bike
Kinda wish well-known manufacturers would develop new diesel-powered entry level bikes...
Milkmen use Bullet diesels for carrying milk cans in India.
Might as well carry along the milking cow with tht amount of torque
Second motorcycle-military truck engine sound
But i still want to have one 😂
Love your content bro always amazing
Royal Enfield is now an indian company bro
The sound may suck but
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THEIR RELIABILITY!!😌
Here in India where they continue to sell the royal 350 it's has gotten a petrol engine now still is classy
sohan naik bruh it's shit
RZKjr tru
Your bikes probably run on curry.
Use onions for fuel
I wonder what the point of running two cranks on a single piston is. It seems like unnecessary mechanical power loss to me.
mickeybill it's diesel.
I know it's diesel.
Not sure of the logic either kinda like the double front forks I think whoever designed this bike was like hey lets seriously overcomplicate this entire thing all of it just seems like extra weight to me
kawadude mcdouble The double front forks are probably because Diesel engines are so much heavier than gas ones. That's why if you do a diesel swap into a truck or car you have to stiffen the front suspension.
mickeybill you'd be surprised by how easily diesel can destroy a con rod (tested it on a nitro rc car w/ some modifications)
Gotta love those Ultra Fine Particles released from diesel exhaust
Get em down ya!
For a motorbike, single cylinder application............you would use a 2 stroke diesel design, like a GM/Detroit. Better power to weight and much smoother running.
imagine a partnership between Audi and BMW to make one of these
Hdt is awesome. Had jp8 written on the side so I'd say it can run off jet fuel aswel. Modernised one of them be an ideal long haul offroad platform
Not gonna lie, I really want one of those royal Enfields now!
Diesel and gasoline have close to the same specific energy, diesels are more efficient due to the much higher compression ratio which allows the combusted gasses to expand over a higher volume than lower compression gasoline engines, the leaner mixture, and the compression ignition which ignites all the fuel at once, meaning the fuel can do more useful work with the energy generated when burning. The fuel burns more slowly meaning the engines can’t rev very high on regular diesel otherwise the fuel wouldn’t burn completely causing massive torque and efficiency loss at higher rpm, and they are heavier and larger due to the need to withstand much higher internal pressure than any gas engine.
I still own the RE 350 Diesel 1988 MODEL Running Like a Queen Upto 100KMPH
Sommer Diesel is biking pur. 👌
The Royal Enfield Taurus also called Diesel Bullet was launched in 1980s. The original Bullet which you mentioned 1952-93 is the gasoline one.
Okay that HDT bike was super cool. At idle its a racket, but when revved up it sounded just like a regular single cylinder dirt bike.
The torque numbers are amazing!
The most intresting one you flash over fast..!!
Congrats on 250k bro! Well done!
I cnow "trac t800", also "Triumph tiger 900 diesel", "Hdt", and "Neander 1400"
Crazy
I like the idea of 600 miles on a tank but Diesel bikes appart from being gutless come with a lot of issues and and when you consider the pros and cons you are better off with a petrol engine unless you are a machanic, just a few examples even new Diesel bikes need nuts and bolts checking every service as the heavy vibration of diesel engines loosens things, the frame must be strong and heavy if not it will need rewelded at some point in the future, if it is a cold day it may take some starting even with a kick, they have a uniqu sound akin to a farmers tractor that could be a pro as you will certainly be noticed😂 i wont say filters carb or injector issues as they all need maintenance on all bikes there are many more issues but i just wanted to mention a few , all in all i think these bikes are a labor of love.
I love the sound of these bikes.
That HDT would be a good choice for riding along some two track in Northern Michigan.
Wow! that last one is even weirder than the Allstate 250 my dad rode back in the 1950s. It was a two stroke with 2 cylinders, one in front of the other and there is a shared combustion chamber. The rear cylinder had the intake and transfer ports and the front cylinder had the exhaust ports. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-single_engine
Generally engines with a precombustion chamber are noisy but require less tune ups and burn a wide range of fuel.
i wish i can buy a diesel engine bike or modify an engine so i can own an ride one because its cheaper running than a petrol. do you know any engines that i can use in australia an be able to use it on the road?
hey visio racer.. all your videos are awesome.... keep it up .. we love your work and effort. hatsoff man.
A Disel motorcycle. I think it's a good idea. The engine sounds good also.
For house-office scooter, this would be great, like 50km/l... And the 130hp petrol bike for the weekend fun :)
The Royal Enfield motorcycle that is mentioned here is nthe Taurus 325 and not Bullet 350. The 350 burns gasoline straight outta factory
The vibration from them would probably shake you to pieces!
I’d love a diesel bike just for the cruising. 150-200mpg. If you got a 4 gallon tank your hardly ever stopping at a gas station
Love your videos! You really put in the hard work… And it shows! Keep it up!
Would really love to see you do a video on the most cutting-edge motorcycles/concept motorcycles
I own a royal Enfield England 550cc diesel bike Lombardi powered bike a unique thing very silent vibration free and burns clean as I maintain it myself, starts still at half the kick
The end was abrupt :(
They are noisy but still acceptable noise as good as 2 stroke or sports high revving petrol runner .
I do like the idea of diesel bikes, but... 0-100 kmh is something like a minute and after 100 km your hands have shaken off. These bikes are not fun to drive at all, but they do take you from A to B with little fuel. But... so does 125-250 cc gasoline single and is helluva lot more fun. Much lighter and faster. I think 250 cc fuel injected liquid cooled single might be optimal. It can be fun and it can be frugal, though not at the same time, unfortunately. I think 2 litres per 100 km is possoble, but then so is 7 litres.
Track 800cdi is my favorite of this list
I would ride the Track T-800cdi everywhere just because of that badass turbo spool
Royal Enfeild Bullet 350 is a Petrol Version .
Royal Enfeild made 2 Diesel bikes
the one i own Enfeild Taurus (the one in your video) & Enfield Robin D400 .
There another bike called Suraj Diesel was also mass produced in India.
Would love to have one but. You can’t find any here in Houston Texas today!
Check out the dutch production diesel motorcyckle "Track"
its a good idea .. shame more people isn't making them
Correction: The M1030 was not created for an army, it was created for the Marines.
hell yeah,don't wanna mess with the Marines !
A Marine with a GI bike?
Forget it.
Mấy con diesel này mà nhập về VN kéo 3 gác thì còn gì bằng, tuy nổ hơi lớn nhưng được cái trâu, nếu dùng kéo 3 gác chắc phải chất 50 chục bao 1 chuyến mới hết công suất, 3 gác máy xăng chở khoảng 30 chục bao là tới chỉ rồi
I think the Honda Africa Twin also has a version with diesel engine
The Diesel engine sound really suits the older looking bikes.
Royal Enfield Diesel came with Greaves Cotton Diesel engines from the factory. Only Sooraj Diesel Bike came with Lombardini engines.
Too COOL, thanks for sharing. - take care
you forgot the new build ural they are stil being produced
Crazy vibrations
Actually the Classic 350 is petrol. And it is less than 20 years old. The one you are looking for is the Taurus. A modified Bullet 350. The bullet is the one produced from the 1950s. A Taurus model was created with a Diesel engine. It didn't sell much. It wasn't hugely popular. The Classic and Bullet still is one of the most common bikes in India.
So are any of these current, production, consumer-available bikes?
4:33 those vibration tho.
It's gonna take a fair bit of persuasion to get me on these
The Sommer bike with Hatz engine sounds almost like the original Royal Enfield with petrol engine, it's also more powerful than Royal Enfields own diesel model, it looks kinda cool as well when you like the rat look.
But you reaaly want to look for diesel bikes only when your'e looking for low running costs as a daily mode of cheap transport, altough some of the heftier bikes shown seem not to be cheap in purchase at all.
Wound be cool to run on veggie oil.
Where did the rest of this video go??
Sommer 462
Track T-8000 CDI
Royal Enfield Bullet 350/500
HDT M1030
Star Twin Thunder Star 1200 TDI (Volkswagen Lupo)
Neander 1400
Video cuts off at the end?
I wondered if these existed. Interesting, but if I ever heard one going down the road I would think the next stop is the repair shop.
With gas prices they way they've been for decades, why are these not all over?
